Exactly...I've done many medleys but all with (usually) the same style throughout. Some styles ARE very similar in meter and feel so yes, you can switch those...but to go from a swing tune into a slow bluesy ballad and not make people fall down if they dancing isn't something I've been able to have much luck with. I think it sounds awkward and don't pursue it...
